    Lye Soap for Fishing

    Always fascinated with Australia’s ancient & present history. Read great books on Daisy Bates, Douglas Lockwood, marlo Morgan and Robyn Davidson. Watch Kangaroo sanctuary on Facebook. What type local fats/oils do you use? What’s favorite scents do folks like there?

    A little introduction from a Newbie Visually Impaired Soapmaker

    Trying to respond CP is anagram for cold processed soap when soap is poured into molds right after trace when pourable. But the lye fumes really burn my eyes if curing in house. HP is hot processed when the soap is cooked till done and supposedly there’s no lye left. But it’s still there...

    A little introduction from a Newbie Visually Impaired Soapmaker

    I’ll try to find a way to message privately. Maybe someone has advice for me. I’m really new to forum communication protocol and unsure of all techy stuff. Born in 1950! It may have something to do with the upper lines of doo dads at top o page

I’ve only been making...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Good for you! I’m remaking bars now from fresh made and older bars. Also, rendering oil from 2 fatty raccoons we ate for 1st time ever. Really clean animals by way white fat and red meat. No gamy smell or taste. Beautiful clear soft oil. Beef is comparable. Some groceries don’t have meat in...

    Hobby Lobby today....

    I’ve always loved old libraries that have old books in them waiting for me to discover what I don’t know yet. I learned to love the nonfiction about “sailing around the world” stories of men and real women who either finished the trip for their captain husband ( she was navigator for trip) that...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I just have calendula flws showing pretty orange & yellow waiting to have an oil soak for shampoo soap bars. Calendula is so smooth & nourishing on skin. Chamomile does my tummy good, not much power for me in soap. Like the colors in that passion fruit bar soap.

    Eeek! Does anybody actually use with this oil!

    I add cedarwood Virginia, fir, any woodsy EOs (bay rum & patchouli, tiny tat of peppermint in small amounts) to vodka. & use it as a spray deodorant for hot Fl days. I’m an old hippie anyways. I also make a room spray when I cool collard greens or fish.
